Sad.

Strangely enough, I met Bryce Dallas Howard yesterday at the Knoxville Comic Con. She was the redhead from the later Jurassic Park films.

I'm old enough to remember him as the grown up Damien Thorn in The Omen III, the last of the series that started back in the 1970s.

Ah that sucks. He was a solid actor.

Seemed like a nice guy, sad to hear

I’m surprised to learn he was a Kiwi. I’d assumed he was American.

I just watched “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” two night ago. It was filmed in New Zealand.
RIP Sam Neil.

If you get the chance, it’s a great film. Everything I’ve watched from Taika Waititi
has been brilliant. “Jojo Rabbit”, “ What we do in the Shadows”, “Boy”.

I’d say about twice a year I’m shocked to learn of an Australian actor that I thought was American.

That’s Sam Elliot of Landman and many others.

Sorry for double post. I couldn’t figure out how to delete.

Same goes for Brits. And more than just twice a year.

Seems like foreign actors are way better at pretending to be us than our actors are at pretending to be them.

Old story. He died in 2023 and is buried next to Farrah.

Good actor. First movie I remember him in was The Hunt for Red October. He was a Russian Submarine Officer.

RIP Sam. Loved you in so many films. Condolences to all his friends and family.

I will be watching Jurassic Park tonight. Maybe JP3 as well. Sam was a big part of my childhood with these movies. The first one was released a year after I was born.

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Loved him in ID4.

Same. I can't lie – I was a bit devastated to wake up to the news. My wife and I also love Peaky Blinders and he was brilliant in that.

Remember attending his and Bryan Brown's joint birthday party at Darling Harbour in Sydney back in 1998.

I am shocked she was at a comic con and especially one in Knoxville. I thought she had a decent ongoing career. Guess not.

I too was surprised he was from new Zealand. I thought Irish.

Easy money is easy money. Pose for a picture and charge money for it. It doesn't get any easier.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Very sad. He was a horror movie standout. In The Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon and Posession were all fantastic.

 

[Catman100]

Obviously.......LMAO

I totally agree. I just know the perception is it devalues the actor to a degree. Personally I don't blame them at all.

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

Those years of hard partyin' finally caught up with him. His shouts are now silenced.

 

[will1976]

Watched this last month. He was underrated.
